10/17
To celebrate the near end of the Presidential campaign (thank goodness), the failure of large investment banks, our new ownership of those investment banks, and a variety of other wonderful news out there….lets go fishing.
Folks, the weather just doesn’t get any better than this. We’ve got highs in the 70s, lows in the 30s and happy fish on almost every river around. The Arkansas, after a bout of rain last weekend in Salida, has bounced back and actually the water has that slight green tint that covers up your mistakes. Never fear, it will return to gin clear in the next few days, so I recommend fishing while you have a little help from Mother Nature.
Fish are on double nymph rigs with a BH Prince trailing a Tungsten PT or a Black Ice, or you can drop the Baetis nymph off a big red Stimulator or October Caddis. Streamers are starting to work as well, so take along an Olive Woolly Bugger or one of Larry’s incomparable Trik’r Treats.
For those of you who are thinking of putting away the fly rod, don’t. The Arkansas will probably fish very well all the way through Thanksgiving if we have good spells of weather. Browns are beginning the spawn, but on this river they rarely work the redds during the day, so when they are not having sex, they are fair game. Just watch where you wade and try not to disturb the redds. They are harder to see this year since the river has cleaned up so much from the spring runoff, but they can still be spotted if you look close.
